Jamaica Road Code Test Questions and Answers (2026)
The best way to prepare for the Jamaican Road Code Test is to work through real-style questions and understand why each answer is correct. Below are worked examples in the two areas the test covers — road signs and the rules of the road — each with the answer and a short explanation. When you are ready, practise a full set free on our Jamaica Road Code practice test. Remember the format: 20 questions, 15 correct (75%) to pass.
Key takeaways
- The test has two sections: traffic signals and signs, and the rules of the road.
- Each question is multiple choice with one correct answer.
- Understanding the reason behind an answer helps you handle questions you have not seen before.
- Aim to score comfortably above 75% in practice before you sit the real test.
Sample questions on the rules of the road
1. On which side of the road must you drive in Jamaica?
Answer: the left. Jamaica drives on the left with right-hand-drive vehicles. You normally overtake on the right, and only when it is safe and legal to do so.
2. You are entering a roundabout. Who has priority?
Answer: traffic already on the roundabout. You must give way to vehicles already circulating and proceed in a clockwise direction (Regulation 211 of the Road Traffic Regulations 2022).
3. What is the general speed limit on an open road outside a built-up area, unless a sign shows otherwise?
Answer: 80 km/h. Built-up areas are typically 50 km/h and school zones 30 km/h. Toll-road limits are set by posted signs.
4. What is the general drink-drive limit for a fully licensed driver?
Answer: 0.08% (35 µg of alcohol per 100 ml of breath). Learner and new drivers have a far lower limit of about 0.01%. The safest choice is not to drink at all before driving.
5. A ball rolls into the road from between parked cars. What should you do?
Answer: slow down and be ready to stop — a child may run out after it. Anticipating hazards is a core skill the test rewards. Children are hard to see and may not check for traffic.
Sample questions on road signs
6. What does a yellow diamond-shaped sign mean?
Answer: it is a warning sign. Yellow diamonds warn of a hazard ahead — a bend, junction, or school zone. Slow down and be prepared. Study the full set in our road signs library.
7. What does a red circle with a white bar (No Entry) require?
Answer: you must not enter. Red-ring signs are prohibitory — they tell you what you must not do. No Entry is often placed at the exit of a one-way street.
8. What must you do at a Stop sign?
Answer: come to a complete stop at the line, then proceed only when it is safe. Unlike Give Way, a Stop sign always requires a full stop, even if the road looks clear.
How to use these questions
